to your phone.
The symbol of the crossed-out wheeled bin indicates that within the countries in the European Union,
this product, and any enhancements marked with this symbol, can not be disposed as unsorted
waste but must be taken to separate collection at their end-of-life.
Ensure that only qualified personnel install or repair your phone.
Your Safety Guidelines
The Sonim XP3 Sentinel is water-proof and can be submerged to 1metre for 30 minutes. It can
work for 30 minutes if immersed. However, it is not waterproof in deeper water, during charging or
when the system connector cover on bottom of the phone is open or compromised.
•
To keep your phone waterproof, make sure that the connector cover located at the bottom is
firmly plugged in every time it is open for charging or use of a wired headset
•
Water droplets may form on the connector cover when it is opened soon after immersion.
This does not indicate water leakage. The connector cover is sealed and waterproof.
•
Water droplets may condense under the display cover if the phone is immersed in water
with significant drop in temperature. This does not indicate water leakage. The droplets will
disappear at room temperature.
The Sonim XP3 Sentinel is dust-resistant, rugged and shock-resistant. However, it is not dustproof or un-breakable if subjected to overwhelming impact. For best results and long product life,
one should protect the Sonim XP3 Sentinel from salt water, dust and strong impacts.
Make back-up copies of important information stored in your phone or maintain a written record.

Your Safety Guidelines
Battery Performance
Avoid High Temperatures
A rechargeable battery powers your device.Use the battery
only for its intended purpose. Never use any charger
or battery that is damaged. If the battery is completely
discharged, it may take a few minutes before the charging
indicator appears on the display or before any calls can be
made. The full performance of a new battery is achieved
only after two or three complete charge and discharge
cycles. The battery can be charged and discharged
hundreds of times but it will eventually wear out. Unplug
the charger from the electrical plug and the device when
not in use. Ensure that you do not leave the fully charged
battery connected to a charger. If left unused, a fully
charged battery will lose its charge over time.
Leaving the battery in hot or cold places, such as in a
closed car in summer or winter conditions, will reduce the
capacity and lifetime of the battery. For the best results,
try to keep the battery between 15°C and 25°C (59°F and
77°F). A device with a hot or cold battery may not work
temporarily, even when the battery is fully charged. Battery
performance is particularly limited in temperatures well
below freezing.
Battery Replacement
When the talk and standby times are noticeably shorter
than normal, replace the battery with an original Sonim
battery.If a replacement battery is being used for the first
time or if the battery has not been used for a prolonged
period, it may be necessary to connect the charger and
then disconnect and reconnect it to begin charging the
battery.
Avoid Short Circuit
Do not short-circuit the battery. An accidental short-circuit
can occur when a metallic object such as a coin, clip,
or pen causes direct connection of the positive (+) and
negative (-) terminals of the battery. (These look like metal
strips on the battery.) This might happen, for example,
when you carry a spare battery in your pocket or purse. A
short-circuit at the terminals may damage the battery or
the connecting object.
Battery Disposal
Do not dispose off batteries in a fire as they may explode.
Batteries may also explode if damaged. Dispose of
batteries according to local regulations and recycle when
possible. Do not dispose as household waste. Do not
dismantle, open or shred cells or batteries. In the event of
a battery leak, do not allow the liquid to come in contact
with the skin or eyes. In the event of leak or a hazard seek 11
medical help immediately.
Personal Medical Devices
Mobile phones may affect the operation of cardiac
pacemakers and other implanted equipment. Please
avoid placing the mobile phone over the pacemaker, for
example. in your breast pocket. When using the mobile
phone, place it at the ear opposite the pacemaker. If a
minimum distance of 15 cm (6 inches) is kept between the
mobile phone and the pacemaker, the risk of interference
is limited. If you suspect that interference is taking place,
immediately turn off your mobile phone. Contact your
cardiologist for more information. For other medical
devices, consult your physician and the manufacturer
of the device. Comply with instructions to switch off
the device or deactivate the RF transmitter function
when required, especially when posted in hospitals and
aeroplanes. Equipment used in these places may be
sensitive to radio waves emitted from the device and
adversely affect their operation. Also, observe restrictions
at gas stations or other areas with flammable atmosphere
or when close to electro-explosive devices.
Child Safety
Your Safety Guidelines
Do not allow children to play with your mobile phone or
its accessories. Keep it out of their reach. They could
hurt themselves or others, or could accidentally damage
the mobile phone or accessories. Your mobile phone and
its accessories may contain small parts, which could be
detached and create a choking hazard.
Emergency Calls
Mobile phones operate using radio signals, which cannot
guarantee connection under all conditions. Therefore
you should never rely solely upon any mobile phone for
essential communications (e.g. medical emergencies).
Emergency calls may not be possible in all areas, on all
cellular networks, or when certain network services and/
or mobile phone features are in use. Check with your local
service provider.
SAR Information
The Sonim XP3 Sentinel has been certified in
compliance with the Government’s requirements for
exposure to Radio Waves.
When communicating over the wireless network, the
mobile phone emits low radio waves known as radio
frequency energy or RF. The Specific Absorption Rate
or SAR is the unit used to measure the amount of RF
energy absorbed by the body while using the phone and is
expressed in watts/kilogram (W/kg).
Governments around the world have adopted
comprehensive international safety guidelines, developed
by scientific organizations, for example, ICNIRP
(International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation
Protection) and IEEE (The Institute of Electrical and
Electronics Engineers Inc.), through periodic and thorough
evaluation of scientific studies. These guidelines establish
permitted levels of radio wave exposure for the general
population.
Tests for SAR are conducted using standardized methods
with the phone transmitting at its highest certified power
level in all used frequency bands.
SAR Data Information for residents in countries that
have adopted the SAR limit recommended by the
International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation
Protection (ICNIRP). For example, European Union,
Japan, Brazil and New Zealand.
The limit recommended by ICNIRP is 2 W/kg averaged
over ten (10) gram of tissue.
The highest SAR value for the Sonim XP3 Sentinel-E
phone when tested by Sonim for use at the ear is 0.582 W/
kg (10g).
Note: For countries, which require SAR measurements for
body-worn operation:
•
The highest SAR value for the Sonim XP3 Sentinel-E
phone tested by Sonim for use when worn on the
body is 0.644 W/kg (10g), provided that the phone is
used with a non-metallic accessory with the handset
at least 1.5 cm from the body, or with the original
Sonim accessory intended for this phone and worn
on the body.
12
The highest SAR value for the Sonim XP3 Sentinel-A
phone when tested by Sonim for use at the ear is 0.253 W/
kg (10g).
SAR Data Information for residents in the United States
and Canada.
Your Safety Guidelines
In the United States and Canada, the SAR limit for mobile
phones used by the public is 1.6 watts/kilogram averaged
over one gram of tissue. The standard incorporates a
margin of safety to give additional protection for the public
and to account for any variations in measurements.
Before a phone model is available for sale to the public
in the US, it must be tested and certified by the Federal
Communications Commission (FCC) that it does not
exceed the limit established by the government-adopted
requirement for safe exposure. The tests are performed
in positions and locations (that is, by the ear and worn
on the body) as required by the FCC for each model. The
FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for Sonim
XP3 Sentinel with all reported SAR levels evaluated as
in compliance with the FCC RF exposure guidelines.
While there may be differences between the SAR levels
of various phones, all mobile phones granted an FCC
equipment authorization meet the government requirement
for safe exposure.
The highest SAR value for the Sonim XP3 Sentinel-A
phone when tested by Sonim for use:
•
By the ear is 0.557 W/kg (1 g).
•
Worn on the body is 0.532 W/kg (1 g) for speech and
0.519 W/kg (1 g) for data calls.
The highest SAR value for the Sonim XP3 Sentinel-E
phone when tested by Sonim for use:
•
By the ear is 0.204 W/kg (1 g).
•
Worn on the body is 0.153 W/kg (1 g) for speech and
0.275 W/kg (1 g) for data calls.
For body-worn operation, this phone meets FCC RF
exposure guidelines provided that it is used with a nonmetallic accessory with the handset at least 1.5 cm from
the body, or with the original Sonim accessory intended for
this phone and worn on the body. Use of other accessories
may not ensure compliance with FCC RF exposure
guidelines.

Hardcoded Shortcuts
Hardcoded Shortcuts
The following are a set of special shortcuts related to voice
calls. Some of these features may require network support.
•
Enter 0 followed by SEND - releases all held calls or
sets User Determined User Busy (UDUB) for a waiting
call.
•
Enter 1 followed by SEND - Releases all active calls (if
any exist) and accepts the other (held or waiting) call.
•
Enter 1X followed by SEND - Releases a specific
active call X.
•
Enter 2 followed by SEND - Places all active calls (if
any exists) on hold and accepts the other (held or
waiting) call.
•
Enter 2X followed by SEND - Places all active calls on
hold except call X with which communication shall be
supported.
•
Enter 3 followed by SEND - Adds a held call to the
conversation.
•
Enter 4 followed by SEND - Connects two calls and
disconnects the subscriber from both calls (ECT).
•
Enter 4 * “Directory Number” followed by SEND
- Redirects an incoming or a waiting call to the
specified directory number.
•
Enter 5 followed by SEND - Activates the completion
of calls to busy subscriber request.
•
Enter “Directory Number” followed by SEND - Places
all active calls (if any exists) on hold and sets up a
new call to the specified directory number.

If you receive an incoming call from a non-ERC
number after you’ve pressed the red-button, do not
accept the call. In this case, after the LW icon on
phone’s screen has changed to alarm icon, the ERC
call will start automatically after about 30 seconds.
5.
If you see “SS Error” or “Not allowed” when the
phone is making call to ERC, don’t worry. The ERC
call is attempted after 30 seconds.
6.
Always remove the phone from wall charger or USB
connector when switching on or off the phone.
7.
Using WAP browser has shown some interactions
issues with the LW functionality. Recommendation
is to use “Opera Mini” to browse internet. Avoid
browsing internet for longer durations.
8.
Please watch out for the GPS icon. If it is amber,
the accuracy is poor. If it is green, the accuracy is
OK. If it is red, it has not connected to the satellites.
It may take more time to connect to the satellites if
you are in non-ideal conditions like moving in a car
or inside buildings. Always make sure that phone
has maximum satellite view where ever possible, for
example,
Java applications that use the Camera and Audio
recorder are incompatible with reliable lone worker
operation. Please do not use such applications.
9.
•
Make sure the GPS icon is green before starting
to drive
When the phone is powered on, it will take about
49
10 to 15 seconds for the lone worker application to
startup and be fully operational. Please wait for 30
seconds before placing any outgoing GSM calls.
During this time, you can accept incoming GSM calls.
In case, if you hear continuous beeps (E2E check
failure on the screen) then power down the phone
and restart the phone.
•
While in moving a car, always keep the phone on
the dash board
•
Carry the phone always on the belt holster
instead of keeping it in the pocket
10. The red button is active in the idle screen even when
keypad is locked. It is not active in other screens. If
any other screen is displayed, then press the “End
call” key twice and come to the phone’s home screen
before pressing the Red-Button.
•
Phone being in the vertical position gives better
GPS performance

Stopwatch
AGPS
Tools
The Global Positioning System (GPS) is a Global
Navigation Satellite System. It uses satellites that transmit
precise microwave signals, which enable GPS receivers to
determine their current location and time.
When an user accesses an application
that requires GPS, then GPS is turned on
automatically. After the application is closed,
GPS is turned off automatically.
The GPS relies on satellite signal to calculate position.
Under conditions of poor satellite reception (that is,
under a tree, bad weather, and so on) standalone GPS
receivers take long time (sometimes a few minutes) to
provide location information to the users. The special
feature Assisted GPS (AGPS) available in Sonim XP3
Sentinel speeds up the phone’s process of calculating
the position irrespective of the signal conditions. When
AGPS is enabled, the phone automatically downloads
the latest satellite related information (Ephemeris data)
through GPRS. This information is used along with the
satellite signals to calculate the position (Downloading of
Ephemeris data may result in network charges).
Select Menu > Tools > AGPS. This allows the user to
configure the usage of AGPS feature. This helps the user
to control any network charges that is incurred due to
downloading of Ephemeris. The following options are
Select Menu > Tools > Stopwatch.

Guarantee Sonim warrants this product to be free from
major defects in design, material and workmanship at
the time of its original purchase by a consumer, and for a
subsequent period of Three (3) years.

under normal use and service, due to defects in design,
material or workmanship, Sonim’s authorised distributors 64
or service partners, in the country/region where you
purchased the product, will replace with the same or
better model in the same or better condition. Sonim and
its service partners reserve the right to charge a handling
fee if a returned Product is found not to be under warranty

longer. Repair or replacement may involve the use of
functionally equivalent reconditioned units. Replaced
parts or components will become the property of
Sonim.
3.
This warranty does not cover any failure of the
Product due to normal wear and tear, or due to
misuse, including but not limited to use in other than
the normal and customary manner, in accordance
with the Sonim instructions for use and maintenance
of the Product. Nor does this warranty cover any
failure of the Product due to accident, software or
hardware modification or adjustment, acts of God
or damage resulting from liquid interacting with the
product beyond what is described as acceptable
in the user guide for the product. A rechargeable
battery can be charged and discharged hundreds of
times. However, it will eventually wear out - this is
not a defect. When the talk-time or standby time is 65
noticeably shorter, it is time to replace your battery.
Sonim recommends that you use only batteries and
chargers approved by Sonim. Minor variations in
display brightness and colour may occur between
phones. There may be tiny bright or dark dots on the
display. These are called defective pixels and occur
when individual dots have malfunctioned and can
not be adjusted. Several defective pixels are deemed
acceptable.
4.
This warranty does not cover Product failures caused
by installations, modifications, or repair or opening
of the Product performed by a non-Sonim authorised
person. Tampering with any of the seals on the
Product will void the warranty.
The Sonim XP3 Sentinel is designated class IP67 for
dust and water protection, according to the IEC Ingress
Protection (IP) Standard 60529. This means that the phone
is dust protected and can be submerged into 1.0m deep
water for up to 30 minutes. Immersion in deeper water can
damage it and must be avoided. The phone is not waterproof or water resistant during charging, use of a plug-in
headset, or any other use when the system connector
cover on the bottom of the phone is not tightly enclosed.
The Sonim XP3 Sentinel is solid and built for heavy
duty use. Its design protects against disassembly or
mechanical damage when subjected to forces equal to
free fall from the high of an average adult. Subjecting the
phone to stronger impact and forces can damage it and
must be avoided.
